according to a compilation presented
to the committee by Mr. Folger, who
added that during the same period
his company had paid $75,500,000 in
taxes. The figures did not take
account of the stock dividend1 ot 200
per cent recently declared and now
being paid.
Mr. Folger denied that the Mag
nolia Petroleum company was a sub
sldiary of the Standard of New
.York, 'but in response to questions
by Mr. Roc said that the Standard
of New York owned about 825,000
shares out of the 1,100,000 shares of
the Magnolia company, or 68 per
cent. He explained that the stock
was purchased by the Standard com
pany from himself and the late John
D. Archbold.
The committee, at the conclusion
of Mr. Folger's testimony, adjourned
until after Christmas, when it w;j

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 22.
Protests against the reinstatement
of Jrtoscoe A'rbuckle continued to
accumulate here today.
Official disapproval of the recent
order of Will H. Hays, titular head
of the motion-picture industry, re
storing to the plump comedian' his
right to work in the pictures, was
expressed by Mayor Cryer in a tele
gram to Mr. Hays, asking him to
reconsider his decision, and declar
ing that exhibition of Arbuckle pic
tures here "would have a direct
tendency to contribute to the de
linquency of the youth of this
city."
This view was supported In a
resolution adopted by the California
Teachers' association, southern sec
tion, in convention here today,
commending Mayor Cryer and vari
ous local organizations which have
already announced their opposition
to Arbuckle's return. Passed In the
midst of vigorous applause, the res
olution declared "that we commend
the attitude of the mayor and vari
ous organizations of the city in
their stand opposing the reinstate
ment of Roscoe Arbuckle as a fit
subject for motion-picture exhibi
tion," and closed with an appeal to
Mr. Hays to "reverse his position
in this matter and immediately re
peal his order of reinstatement."
Approbation of the mayor's action
also was expressed by a delegation
of club women, headed by Mrs. A.
A. Hummel, chairman of the motion-picture
department of the Cali
fornia Federated Women's clubs,
and Mrs. J. C. Urquhart, president
of the southern California district
of the federation, who called at the
city hall and received Mayor Cryer's
assurance that he would use all his
power and influence to prevent the
showing of Arbuckle films in Los
Angeles.
FATTY FROWNED ON HERE
Portland Women's Clubs Would
Boycott His Films.
Will Hays' recent edict in which
lie stated he would give itoscoe
"Fatty" Arbuckle, a chance to re
turn to the motion picture screen
has met with some displeasure in
Portland and may meet with consid
erable more If the Portland Woman's
club has anything to say about the
matter. A protest against the show
ing of any films in Portland In
which Arbuckle has acted, either
before or after the Virginia Rappe
episode, has been made by the club.
A resolution to that effect was
passed at the regular meeting of the
organiaztion yesterday. Mrs. Charles
PI. Runyon, president of the local
club, said yesterday that she felt
other organizations in Portland
would adopt a similar attitude.
Two members of the club whose
names were withheld refused to
vote for the resolution yesterday
and were asked to explain their rea
sons. Both of the dissenting mem
bers argued that his acquittal for
the crime of which he had been
accused should be sufficient reason
for his being considered innocent,
and that he should be given an op
portunity to again make good as a
movie actor.
"A dignified boycott of the Ar
buckle pictures is all that we con
template," said Mrs. Runyon last
right. "We will nrobablv not sow
the co-operation of the mayor or of
me censorsnip Doard in banning the
films here."

Affairs of two oil companies, the
Prairie Oil & Gas company and the
Standard Oil of New York, were
delved into today by the senate xll
investigating committee, with the
respective presidents of the two
corporations, James E. O'Neill and
H. C. Folger, as the principal wit
nesses.
Inquiry into the Identity .of the
larger stockholders of the two con
cerns was pursued at length through
questions by G. E. Roe, attorney for
the committee, and brought from
Mr. O'Neill that eight interests held
87 per cent of the stock of his com
pany and from Mr. Folger that four
interests held approximately 35 per
cent of his corporation's stock.
Mr. O'Neill gave the eighi prin
cipal stockholders of the Prairie OH
& Gas company, with the percentage
of their holdings to the total out
standing stock, as Edward S. Hark
ness, 3 per cent; Northern Finance
corporation, 4 per cent; John D.

Harkness, S per cent; trustees ofthe
Henry H. Houston estate,, a little
more than 1 per cent; general edu
cational board, about 8 per . cent;
Laura Spellman Rockefeller memo

25 per cent; A. M. Harkness, about
3 per cent; Edward S. Harkness, 3
per cent, and tno Northern Finance
corporation, 4 per cent.
Mr. O'Neill was questioned closely
by the committee attorney and also
by Chairman La Follette as to the
reason that prices for crude oil
posted In the mid-continent field by
the leading five buying companies
had risen and fallen almost simul
taneously during 1921 and 1922, but
declared that it could not be con
sidered unusual and was a natural
process. - He asserted emphatically
several times that the rise and fall
of prices were not preoeded by any
conference between the- competing
companies.
Huge Dividends Paid.
The Prairie Oil & Gas company
president declared in the course of
his testimony that production of
crude oil in -the United States had
reached its peak and that within 10
years .American refiners would be
forced to get at least 50 per cent
of their supply from foreign coun
tries. '
Cash dividends amounting to $85,
050,000 and stock dividends of 400
per cent on a capitalization of $75,

to the plea of the San, Francisco
consumer and bringing cheap tur
keys for Chr)stmas.
The main item on the Yuletlde
dinner will cost 15 to 20 cents a
pound less than last year. The
market for dressed turkeys, which
dropped sharply during Thanksgiv
ing week, is repeating the perform
ance. In the wholesale district today
best young gobblers tumbled two to
three cents a pound from yester
day's quotations, the bulk of offer
ings moving into retail hands at 35
and 36 cents a pound, with poor
stock selling as low as 30.
San Francisco is plentifully sup
plied with holiday birds, between
125 and 150 tons entering th city
up to noon today. On the basis of
current wholesale quotations, the
consumer should be able to pur
chase the best turkeys in the mar
ket under 45 cents a pound.
Prices of Christmas trees failed to
fall from the record high price levels
established earlier in the week. Re
tailers continued their scramble for
the decorations and trees of email
size sold readily at $3 apiece, while
those of more ample (proportions,
such as would reach from floor to
ceiling in the ordinary bungalow
were priced as high as $10 each.
